Probably We anyone can easily reveal this with me improved. It is far from the exact same at this point is Asia. The natives it's possible notice just a little diversely. I usually choose to find an Oriental woman viewpoint. I seriously do not know what you indicate if you declare that. Probably We anyone can easily reveal this with me improved.

The Coconuts has a Proudly south African stamp on it. We have had a comedy show like SNL. It was called PMS or Pure Monate Show. It was hilarious but it was uniquely South African. Comedy provides a realm to make fun of social issues that can otherwise be hurtful in another arena, like race which is very relevent in post Apartheid South Africa. Along with other comedies in South Africa like Suburban Bliss and Madam and Eve, The Coconuts breaks down social barriers. My comment may be a little late but I love the Coconuts and it allows South Africans to escape from a race conscious world into a humorous, politically incorrect space...

Just an email to say 'well done for this site', it's good to see some good stuff going on over there, i mostly hear about the negative, (if i'm honest, i've been negative about SA myself lately, mainly due to far too much crime & serious violence etc)! And some of my family have just moved back. I used to live in Joburg and the east rand, mostly in BENONI (was at Willowmoore high school, so was my niece, obviously not at the same time though). I would love to see this show 'The coconuts' but i doubt it will come out in the uk!! Is there a website where i could watch some of it? Cheers, Dave. PS: I really do hope the country does well, it's a beautiful place. Hi Nic.

It's been the only new sitcom on TV that I've actually burst out laughing during, and my favourite character is undoubtedly the black neighbour, the guy has the best lines! Last night's finale last night was done really well - we were in hysterics. Coconuts reminds me of Marc Lottering comedy - it has that great knack of verbalising and recognising the racial and class stereotypes, and making you very aware that a stereotype is just that, and you're pretty stupid if you buy into it.

I am an 11 year old and writing this when the series is over. It was really funny and I liked it. The Coconuts is the best South-African show I've watched. I really enjoyed it and hope we get something as funny next. Unfortunately it is over, but it brought most of us a good laugh. Taskeen Hey!

Being from Namibia and having to have schlepped along with the "we want independance" thing I find I am justified in commenting. Its high time the country started laughing at itself and the ridiculous things people get up to. The show seems to point out our weaknesess and fears and seeing it on screen in this hilarious makes me realise that both black and white people share the same fears. Some more than others and the more than others leave for Australia. Yay for the Coconuts. The Coconuts are the best thing that’s happened to South Africa since independance.
